I got that crap system message today about scrapbook being moved. Decided to have look and found quite a lot of old pictures.
One of them really brought up some memories.
It's a screenshot of my naxx geared death knight back in the days when naxx was "current content".
These were nice days. There was no "dedicated tanking tree" for dks, no stupid LFR, less ridiculous whining and more actual problems. Game was different.
But not only game. Life was different too. I've just came to Ireland, everything was new, I had 4 friends instead of one, I had less routine and more expectations, my heart was a lot less shattered than it is now and loneliness was just a regular part of my life. It didn't feel like an abyss that has to be filled before it swallows you. As much as it sucks to confess - those were much better days of my life.
A nerdy thing it seems - to reflect on a screenshot of some game. But it's no different from a usual "real" photo in the essence. Screenshot is a mark for the memory, a certain set of people and events crystalized and chained to a still moment of time. Some of these moments are really good to remember. Others not so much. Yet memory lives alongside me. And rarely lets me down (which I sometimes regret). I agree that people should not leave in the past, but I think that we should remember. So I do remember. To good ends or bad - only time can tell.
